Penny had long yellow curly ears and freckles on 
her nose. 





















Prue had long yellow curls but not one 
freckle.

Polly had a ruffled dress with a blue ribbon. So did 

Prue. But Penny had no dress at all. 

“Poor Penny!” said Polly. 







“Please, Prue, may Penny wear your ruffled dress 
with the blue ribbon today?” said Polly. 

Prue did not say anything. She did not want to let 
Penny wear her dress.

Penny did not say anything either. But she did not 
want to wear it. 

Polly said, “Prue’s dress will just fit you. Penny.” 

So she put Prue’s ruffled dress on Penny, and tied 
the blue ribbon around her middle. It really did fit 
Penny quite well. But Penny w as very sad. 







“Now you may ride in Prue’s carriage, Penny,” said 
Polly. 

Polly pushed the carriage down the street. Soon they 
came to the corner.

Ginger was there chewing a big bone. Penny did 
not want Ginger to see her in Prue’s dress and Prue’s 
carriage. She tried to hide her head. 

But Ginger saw Penny. 

Bowwow! Come here quick, Piper! Will you look 
at Penny dressed in doll’s clothes? Bow wow! Bow 
wow!” 

































Piper looked at Penny. He did not say anything, but 

walked back and sat down in the tulip bed. He shook 
his head.

Penny was so ashamed. But Polly was proud of

nice indeed. I hey went along the street quite fast.

Suddenly cold chills went up and down Penny’s 
back. There in the crotch of a tree was Tiger! Tiger 
had yellow stripes and yellow eyes. He had sharp 
curved claws. Penny could remember how they had 
felt in her back one day! 

Tiger arched his back. Penny made one leap out of 
Prue’s carriage. She tried to reach the crotch of the 
tree. 








“Bow wow! 


Bow wow! I will catch vou this time,

Tiger!” 

But Tiger ran up the tree and looked down at Penny 

¥ 

with great yellow eyes. Penny barked and barked. She 
did not hear Polly scolding her. She was so excited! 
She forgot all about Prue’s ruffled dress with the blue 
ribbon.

She ran back for Ginger and Piper. 

“Bow wow! Come help me catch Tiger!” 

Ginger said, “Bow wow! I will help you, Penny!” 
Piper said, “What’s the use? He’s away up in the 
tree. We can’t catch him. Let’s go to the pond and 
chase ducks!” 

“Oh, yes, let’s chase ducks!” said Ginger. 

Penny said, “Bow wow!”

Polly ran after them, but she could not catch them. 
“Come back, Penny!” she called. 

Penny did not hear Polly. 







I here was only one fat duck swimming around in 
the pond. Ginger, Piper, and Penny barked and 
barked. Penny jumped into the water. 

“I can swim as fast as you can, Mr. Duck!” she 
barked. “I will catch you!” 

But Mr. Duck flew awav.

Polly reached the edge of the pond. 

“Come here, you naughty dog!” she called. 

Penny swam back to the shore. She was very wet. 


















“Look at Prue’s pretty dress, Penny!” said Polly. 

“Shame on you!” 

* 

Penny looked at the dress. She had forgotten all 
about it. 











They walked home together. Penny’s long ears were 
dripping and it was hard to walk in Prue’s wet dress. 








Prue was sitting up straight in a stiff chair. 

Polly said, I am very sorry, Prue. Penny was a 

naughty dog and went into the pond in your dress! 
But I will fix it up for you.” 

So Polly washed and ironed Prue’s dress and made 
it pretty and fresh again.

Penny shook her hair and ran around until she was 
fluffy and white. 

Polly said, “You both look very nice now. I think I 
will not make Penny wear Prue’s dress again.”
